So the President of Turkmenistan renamed all of the months after family members/national heroes. The month of April was "Mother."
This was done in August 2002.
Picture of Turkmeni President Saparmurat Niyazov:
Robespierre (whom I call 'Robie') also renamed all the months, didn't he? They look alike, actually... (white hair, dark eyebrows, same 'smile,' similar suit, white shirt underneath, etc)
Robie:
Oh, power. "We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority..." what, to rename the months of the year? Of all the things to do with power, HONESTLY. Have a pancake fest, or SOMETHING!! Crazy world, blast it all.

I would name them after the Seven Dwarves. That way life expectancy would shoot up above 120 in one year--the biggest health boom in history, it would be!

I want August to be Thaugust. That's less confusing than a totally new name but it's still sort of named after me.
I think we should name all of the months... something creative. Not that the seven dwarves aren't creative.
I mean, like:
January - Racheserendipity
February - Autumn (Autumn's pretty. Let's keep it)
April - Hazelnut Cream
Until we've spelled Rachel twice.
RACHELRACHEL. See? Six letters?
